Lost Legacy

A SURPRISING, ENGAGING, AND ENTERTAINING PAGE-TURNER…


“Intriguing, with as many twists and turns as the Pennsylvania countryside it’s set in.” – CJ Lyons, New York Times Bestselling Author 


“Even better than her first book, Circle of Influence...As well-crafted as the mystery is, and if you figure this one out before the end you should be a detective, it’s the characters that make this series so unique and appealing.” – Bobbi Carducci, Author of Confessions of an Imperfect Caregiver

Sub-Genre Tags: Traditional Mystery, Police Procedural, Suspense, Amateur Sleuth 


On a sultry summer afternoon, Paramedic Zoe Chambers responds to a call and finds a farmer’s body hanging from the rafters of his hay barn. What first appears to be a suicide quickly becomes something sinister when Zoe links the victim to a pair of deaths forty-five years earlier. Her attempts to wheedle information from her mother and stepfather hit a brick wall of deception, one that brings into question everything Zoe knows about her late father, who died in a car crash when she was eight. Or did he? 


Police Chief Pete Adams fears Zoe’s inquiries are setting her up for deeper heartbreak and putting her in danger. As Zoe and Pete inch closer to the truth, they discover that a missing gun links the crimes which span more than four decades. But the killer isn’t done. Two more Vance Township residents fall victim to the same gun, and when tragedy strikes too close to home, Zoe realizes her family is in the crosshairs.

Author Bio:  


Annette Dashofy, a Pennsylvania farm gal born and bred, grew up with horses, cattle, and, yes, chickens. After high school, she spent five years as an EMT for the local ambulance service. Since then, she’s worked a variety of jobs, giving her plenty of fodder for her lifelong passion for writing. She, her husband, and their two spoiled cats live on property that was once part of her grandfather’s dairy. Her short fiction, including a 2007 Derringer nominee, has appeared in Spinetingler, Mysterical-e, and Fish Tales: the Guppy Anthology. Her newest short story appears in the Lucky Charms Anthology.
